A PLIICKY WOMAN.

For weeks past some one has been
robbing the residence of Mrs. Anna
=. Shackleford, of Pleasant HILL
Ala, but when and how was a mys.
terry. On the evening Of the 26th
ult., Mrs. Shackleford was in her
room engaged i'll writing, when her
attention was directed to some one
working at her window from the
front portico. She hastily snatched
up a pistol from a table and had Just
got behind the door, and up went the
window, and in stepped rough ne
gro six feet high and Weighing l75
pounds. lie did not see Mrs. 5. and
went to her dressing case and took
out all the money he could find.
Plucky Mrs. s. started to shoot him
when to her CONSERVATION she dis
covered the pistol was not loaded.
With savage oath the burly negro
sprang at Mrs. 5. catching her by
one of her hands, while in his other
hand he held an open knife. He
made determined effort to cut the
throat of Mrs. Shackleford. lie cut
through her dress, burying the blade
in her left breast, the cut being three
inches in length and one inch deep.
Two wounds were inflicted on the
arm and one in the hand.
As he raised the knife for the
fourth time plucky Mrs Shackleford
succeeded in freeing her hand from
his grasp, and quick as a flash Of
lightning she struck him blow on
the temple with the butt end of the
pistol, which caused him to reel two
other well directed blows felled him
to the floor. Just beyond him on
table was a loaded pistol he had
not seen. She sprang past him to
get it, when he rose from the floor
and dashed through the window just
as ball came in close proximity to
his head lie ran like Maud $"
to escape.
Mrs. Shacklcford had a few mo-
ments before came up from her plan
tation on horse back, and badly cut
as she was and bleeding fearfully,
she quickly mounted her steed and
rode along at a rapid rate. As she
came within shooting range of the
fleeing negro, she fired, the ball hit
ting him in the leg and bringing him
down. She was upon him almost
simultaneously with his tall, and
stood over him with cooked pistol for
three quarters of an hour, until she
secured the services Of three gentle
men, who carried him to Jail.
Mrs. Shackleford is getting along
well, although her nerves were slight
ly shook up. But she is lady of
extraordinary power. She manages
a large plantation, and takes care OF
her mother, who is blind, her father,
an invalid and 81 years OF age, and
her little boy. She is woman that
Alabama and the South should feel
proud Of.

INTELLIGENT HORSES.
They Obey the Various Bugle Calls and
Can be Relied on in Battle.


* was only young subaltern when
the war broke out, but was thorough
artillery tactician. My highest ambi-
tion was to have light battery of my
own, and had no difficulty in secur-
ing light battery of New York volun-
teer artillery. 1t was splendidly
equipped. There were six ten-pound
Parrot guns and twelve as fine horses
for guns and caissons as ever went into
the field. The men were so green that
they did not know the muzzle of piece
from the breech, and the horses were
fresh from the farms, many of them not
even broken to harness. l at once COM
menced drilling my new command, and
in an incredibly short time it was pro-
nounced ready by the chief of artillery
for active service in the field. That
battery became my pride, and its prof-
was ever excelled. believed then,
and still think, that there is not pref
tier military command than light ar
tillery.
'It was the first battery that had
ever drilled from its inception. l soon
found that the horses learned sooner
than the men. This was especially the
case respecting the bugle-calls. just
as with the men, too, some of the horses
learned faster than others. Some of
them had better ears for music, too
and, while there We're those who would
obey any bugle-call after executing the
maneuver II few times, others, Just like
the men, would never learn the mean-
ing of the notes. The most proficient
horses were always placed in the lead.
More than once have dismounted tho
men. and then with the bugle put the
battery through the most intricate man.

close intervals ut gallop without D
rider on the horses. l had also taught
the two lead teams something not coE-
tanned in the tactics, that was to lie
down in the traces at certain bugle-
call. This little trick saved my guns ut
the battle of Fair Oaks, on the 3lst day
of May, 1862. The lead teams had been
ordered to lie down rs soon as the firing
began. The enemy's fire was high, hut
not far enough above them to save the
pole teams. They were struck down,
but when we were forced to leave the
field there were enough of lead horses
to pull the guns of. All through that
terrible sheet of flame and lead thoss
horses lay down, not very quietly, of
course, and when the bugle-call sounded
close to their ears, so as to be heard
above the din of battle, they sprang up
to their feet, and. many of them rider
less, executed the order to timber up
and retreat. ."--Louisoitle Coarier-Jour-

Tho Millionaire Chats About tho Happy
Days of His Boyhood.

Tho Millionaire Chats About the Happy
Days of His BoyhoOd.
"Aftef ALL" quoth Mr.. Gould, "whas
does any man get in this world except
something to cat and something to wear
and somewhere to livep The poor man
ought to be the happiest man. Wealth
brings cares without compensation. A
man gets rich and then he's slave.
Very mistaken ideas exist on this SUBJ
ject.
"Ah, often recur to the days when
I was boy up in Delaware County. I
was pretty happy lad. There wasn't
much wear and tear in life then. How
good it would feel just to 60 out and
drive the cattle home from pasture once
more! And how delicious it would be
to stoop down by the old COW again to
do the mornings milking and Just
squirt stream of her fresh, hot milk in
between my lips as 1 used to do! That
was nectar. That's what gave an APP
petite for breakfast"
Mr.. Gould's eyes glistencd. Boyhood
memories were evidently much to his
taste.
" "a boy on farm ought to be one of
the happiest beings alive" he added.
'He may leave to go out in the buster
world, and he may make more money
elsewhere and in other ways, but he'll
never be a jot happier anywhere or any
how-not jot; it isn't in human posi-
bility to be happier OF course, Though,
nobody is ever contented. l remember
how it was with myself. One of my
boy friends was Sam Dimmick, who
lives up ut Kingston-on-the-Hudson.
His father, Colonel Dimmick, was one
of the well-to-do men up in Delaware
County in those times, and remember
that used to wish and wish and wish
that something would happen to enable
me to get rs rich as he was. He seemed
like a CrGsus to me-" added the man
who is reported to be worth $50, 900, 900.
1--WE got there since. But I'm not
so happy. A rich man ought to be
Judged pretty generously. He has a
good deal more to contend with than
people who aren't rich generally sup
pose"
'I think could find citizen or two
who'd be willing to relieve you," sug-
gestcd the reporter.
Mr. Gould didn't ask for their adj
dresses. He only repeated: "Food and
clothes and place to sleep, that's all II
man gets in this world. l don't care
how rich he is. The boy on the farm,
the man who isn't driven to death to
look for property that is in his name,

An Impressive Spectacle witnessed In FaI

sat down to smoke. had Just left q
noisy, buif,lo-hunting Indian camp, and
presently l conjured an Indian scene.
Columns of Indians, painted and
stripped to their breech clouts, filed
past me and disappeared in the haze
which hung over the eastern plains.
Great herds of buffalo sprang into life
in my brain, and bands of Cheyennes,
Sioux and Blackfeet pursued them.
When the buffalo were falling, and the
plains below me were u mass of ever
shifting light and color and active life,
the Utes, mounted and with bent bows,
and with long grooved war arrows,
drawn to their heads, dashed past me,
and battle, savage and bloody ragged be-

men ever become lonesome when they
could re-people the remote solitude
of highland and plain and enjoy scenes

head appeared above the crest of the
range. | sat and looked at him and he
looked ut me. Soon another and an
other and another dark and savaged
visaged head rose above the crest. and
then the head of u column of mounted
Indians rode into sight. They were
singing their marching song. Every
trail was occupied. The Indians looked
neither to the right nor to the left. but
marched slowly past me. There
were old men and warriors, and
young men, all with their rifles
across their knees, and hundreds of
women, some of whom were hand.

army of dogs brought up the rear.

"She's the sweetest girl in schools" en-
thusiastically exclaimed one young miss to
another, as they passed down the street to-
gether. Edith is so kind, and gentle, and
unselfish, every one likes her And she
has lovely golden hair and pretty eyes.
Isn't it a pity her complexion is so bad; 1t
spoils her looks. And then she has such
dreadful headachesl' The girls skipped
along, but 1t happened Edith's mother had
heard what they said. 1t set her thinking.
What could be done for those headaches
and the rough, muddy complexion, that was
such trial to her gentle daughter. She
recalled what she had read Of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery, and on the spur
of the moment she slipped into n drug store
and bought a supply. Edith took 1t faith
fully, with the result that it cleared hel
disordered blood, relieved the headaches
made her skin soft fair and rosy, and now
she is not only the "swectest girl!o school, )
but tho most beautiful
